Throughout the series, Courtney – real name Shane Jenek – and Ann butted heads over their opposing views.

Courtney, who describes herself as gender fluid and pansexual, spoke to Ann about her views on the LGBT community a number of times.

When Ann was in politics, she opposed a number of important LGBT acts including civil partnerships, the Equality Act, repealing Section 28 (which opposed teaching in schools about homosexuality), reducing the age of consent for homosexual sex, and allowing gay couples to adopt.

Although she had left Parliament before the same-sex marriage bill, she told Courtney she would have opposed it.
